Hi there. I have mental and physical health problems as well as Seasonal Affective Disorder, and after a "leaving the nest" attempt that went sour, I returned to the family home. The problem is, a friend of my younger sister and her boyfriend and the friend's two kids from previous relationships are staying with us until they find a new home. Its not that they are here that is a problem, its that the friend and her boyfriend are always in cranky moods and whining, bickering and shouting at each other. This isn't helping my Seasonal Affective Disorder. So how do I deal with them? Its bad enough my sister has a daughter that screams at the top of her lungs when she can't have her own way, my sister and her soon-to-be ex are always fighting, and we have noisy kids coming and going without the friend and her boyfriend always at each others throats. I'm trying to be cheerful despite my SAD, but its very hard with everyone else in the house acting like they have permanent PMS. What can I do?
